ULAB participates in National River Fair.
The Department of Media Studies and Journalism of the University of Liberal Arts Bangladesh (ULAB, http://www.ulab.edu.bd) will present a photography exhibition entitled “Halda: River of Mystery” during the Second National River Fair 2011 (Choto Nodi Choto Noi) to be held from July 23 to 25 at Zohir Raihan Auditorium, Jahangirnagar University. Depicting the life, livelihood and culture of the fisher folk residing along the banks of the picturesque Halda River, the exhibit showcases the works of eleven students belonging to the ULAB apprenticeship program. The students include Ananta Yusuf, Ananta Gourab, Md. Rezwanul Islam, Tasnima Akhter, Nawsher Ali Khan, Md. Mahidul Islam, Sk. Shafiqul Islam, Md. Adnan Rahman, Md. Naim Khan, Khaled Hossain Ayon and Salahuddin Muhammad. The faculty advisers are Senior Lecturer Razibul Hossain and Senior Lecturer Marium Akther.
In May 2011, a group of ULAB students travelled to one of Bangladesh’s most exceptional places, Halda River in Chittagong- the only tidal river natural carp breeding ground in the world. Over several days, the students accompanied local fishermen collecting and hatching the eggs of the carp. ULAB is please to present the results, 32 unique photos documenting the indigenous practices of the fisher folk and the relationship between humans and water in Bangladesh. The exhibition, which through the fusion of art and environment provides new ways of perception, however also intends to raise awareness for the fragility of this ecosystem.
Aside from the photography exhibition, ULAB Senior Lecturer Razibul Hossain, together with students, will conduct a visual presentation about the recent situation in the Halda River. The presentation will be held in the second day of the event, July 24, 10:40 a.m. ULAB’s MSJ Department is proud to participate in this event.
